The Language of the Elderly

The other day, AmoreMio and I went to visit the Nonna Michela (his mother's mother). When we got there though, we found that the Nonna already had company; the mother of the husband of her daughter (which would be AmoreMio's aunt's mother-in-law). Confused yet? I know the feeling.

We sat down with them to chat for a bit, and a couple things came to my attention.
